Teach English: iPhone makes Video Letters Super Easy!

Lesson Plan at: http://genkienglish.net/projects.htm

The net makes it free to communicate with other people, the iphone 3GS makes it super, super easy!

One of the keys to learning a language is to actually communicate something using it. It's way more fun than any textbook!

Here I show how to use an iPhone 3GS to make videos of everyday things to send to exchange partners overseas. It's a huge motivator for learning a language and is a perfect chance to really communicate with people in other countries. You send them a video, then they send you one back!

Check out the Genki English website for lesson plans and more ideas.

Or if you're a student, please feel free to make some videos to share. Things like your lunch, breakfast, your birthday present, Thanksgiving dinner, your daily routine or favourite place make really cool exchange ideas!

Teachers can find partner schools at http://epals.com or the Genki English forum ( http://genkienglish.net/forum.htm ) and students can find language exchange parters at sites such as http://www.livemocha.com

Highly recommended for anyone learning or teaching a language!

Be genki,

My boyfriend works on the iPhone, and I keep seeing more and more reasons to love this guy to death. :P If only it weren't so expensive monthly!

If you're planning to buy an iPhone app for learning japanese check out Human Japanese, it's really really good.

I think there's a lite version so you can try it out.
